We come leaps and bounds today

Del and Nikita worked with Arani- he is easy to drive into the yards from the paddock, but Del says he is  is quite one-sided...He will always give you his left eye but not the right....BUT he is very calm about every thing now...and when Nikita arrives he is whinnying to her and waiting for his hay...can't wait to get his halter on...I am sure he will be very obliging....he is getting softer and softer now....We then worked Oscar so that we could change his long lead rope to a short one so that he could go out with Arani and Louka for some well earned horsey time....It didn't take long at all - so glad I did all that work yesterday...he still didn't like it too much until he realised what we were doing then he relaxed and on went the black rope and off with the long one....then we put him out with Louka and Arani...they welcomed him back like a long lost friend....then later on I went to check on them again and here was Oscar lying in the middle of the hay with Louka one side and Arani the other- what a picture..he is really happy to be back with his pals....can't wait till tomorrow to do some more....Dennis & Glenn have taken the wind cloth off the shade house and have taken half the framing and made another shelter and paddock for our little herd....then when it rains I now have enough paddocks to keep them all dry...it looks as though it'll be finished tomorrow and then just the fence to go up around it and it's done...we also bought 7 weaners today..Angus cross heifers...we have a heap of grass so it'll be good to get the cattle going better now as well.
